I’ll cop to my own biases here rather than try to slough them off on them film. I’ve long been puzzled (and maybe frustrated) by evangelical or fundamentalist Christians (or members of communities who identify themselves as such) who will oppose legalized abortion on demand or stem cell research with the zealous, absolute certainty of the righteous and yet turn around and willingly participate (as consumers or support) in forms of surrogate pregnancy that may include the transportation or destruction of fertilized eggs.
Because society often sends the message--overt or implied--that whether or not you are a "good person" is dependent on whether you can or will forgive, victims of serious or continued abuse may feel isolated, even when their experiences are common.
